Summer choral cycle · July – August · heritage cities
For sponsor teams, brand activators and delegations taking part in the Festival Internacional de Canto Coral (summer choral cycle that tours Gothic churches, Baroque collegiate churches and historic auditoriums across Spanish heritage cities, with programmes ranging from Iberian Renaissance polyphony through contemporary commissions, choral-conducting masterclasses and a brand-activation operation that combines receptions at historic town halls and an after-office run on Plaza Mayor venues in heritage cities). EUR + IVA 21% via FACe / SII (AEAT), production from our Madrid hub with 24–48 h delivery to a named consignee at each cycle venue.
The Festival Internacional de Canto Coral is one of the most deeply-rooted dates on the European choral calendar: every summer the cycle tours Gothic churches, Baroque collegiate churches and historic auditoriums across Spanish heritage cities, offering recitals of Iberian Renaissance polyphony (with particular attention to the repertoire of Tomás Luis de Victoria, Cristóbal de Morales and Francisco Guerrero), contemporary commissions premiered by the festival itself and open choral sessions with the participation of invited ensembles from across Europe. The cycle draws a steady audience of choral-music enthusiasts, European chorus directors, international festival programmers and national and international cultural press.
For sponsor and brand-activation teams the operational challenge is working with a touring choral cycle in the middle of the Spanish summer: heritage cities usually have pedestrian-only historic centres with restricted vehicle access, recitals run well into the night in stone churches with limited climate control, and the hospitality layer is set up in state-run paradores (Parador de Santiago de Compostela, Parador de Salamanca, Parador de Toledo), in palaces refurbished as boutique hotels or in noble houses of the old quarter. The typical brief we receive combines warm staff apparel for stone churches (merino wool, polar fleece), bilingual ES/EN printed concert programmes with the score for the evening recital, lanyards and accreditations for VIP guests and cultural press, facsimile scores of the Renaissance repertoire as collectible gifts and final gifting sets with local products (Rioja wine, manchego cheese, Talavera ceramics) for the invited choirs and European programmers.
The Madrid production hub — with fall-back to Valladolid, Toledo and Seville depending on the venue — runs the full order and delivers by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to a named consignee at each cycle venue: sponsor offices, the reference hotel on the Plaza Mayor, the heritage-city tourism consortium offices or the warehouse set up at the church or auditorium of the recital. The typical delivery window is 24–48 hours with a pre-arranged slot, given that the cycle falls in summer and the motorways into heritage cities carry moderate end-of-holiday return traffic.
B2B invoices are issued in EUR with IVA 21% added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-community clients with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies with no Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant article of the EU directive.

Premium notebooks with Castilian craft-paper covers, fine-point pens engraved with the cycle seal, organic-cotton tote bags with a silkscreen of the heritage-city skyline, limited-edition facsimile scores of the Renaissance repertoire, enamel pins with the staff notation motif and linen bookmark sets for printed programmes — 200 to 1,500 units per edition.
Compact power banks with sober branding, USB hubs for the accredited press booth, foldable wireless chargers for the welcome team, notebook + pen sets with silkscreen for delegations from invited choirs, national and international cultural press and European programmers — 50–120 premium units per edition.
Premium hardcover notebooks with the sponsor seal, Castilian gourmet sets (Rioja wine, manchego cheese, Talavera ceramics), limited editions of the choral-cycle catalogue with facsimile scores, bilingual ES/EN packaging and named delivery to the church vestry, state parador or cathedral-cloister venue.
The merch operation for the Festival Internacional de Canto Coral is usually coordinated between Madrid and the regional hubs depending on the cycle venue: Madrid handles the bulk of graphic and light textile pieces, Valladolid acts as a regional warehouse for deliveries in northern Castilla-León, Toledo backs up for southern venues and Seville for Andalusian stops. Road delivery is made to the named consignee — sponsor offices in the city, the reference hotel on the Plaza Mayor, the tourism consortium offices or the warehouse set up at the church or auditorium of the recital. The typical delivery is 24–48 hours with a pre-arranged slot, given that the cycle falls in summer and the motorways into heritage cities carry moderate end-of-holiday return traffic.
We keep buffer stock at the Madrid hub for the recurring items — white shirts, scarves, notebooks and tote bags with generic silkscreen — that we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days. For pieces with custom embroidery (sponsor monogram, limited-edition number) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For sponsors with special hospitality pieces (Castilian gourmet boxes, numbered sets with Talavera ceramics) we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before the first recital because of the delicacy of the gourmet product and the cold chain required for manchego cheese.
B2B invoices are issued in EUR with IVA 21% added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-community clients with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies with no Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant article of the EU directive. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, when the client requests it, with a photo of the material unloaded in the church lobby or at the historic auditorium entrance.
